The package preun ran after the post scriptlet, which when the release and not version was updated, caused the gem to be uninstalled as both the old and new packages managed the same version.
The gem is now only uninstalled in preun if there are multiple versions installed (i.e. a second version from the new package). A workaround was added for the current version 0.5.1 to restore the gem on upgrade.
